Based largely on the nutritional quality of the food products, Yuka chose the best jam.
For breakfast, jam is an essential sweet preparation to accompany bread or brioche. Like any sweet product, it should not be consumed unreasonably, and a small portion in the morning is enough to treat yourself – and give yourself a boost to start the day off on the right foot. However, as with all products found in supermarkets, not all jams are created equal. Which one is best according to the Yuka app?
How does Yuka rate foods?
On its site, the Yuka app explained its food product rating system. Thus, the score obtained is based 60% on the nutritional quality of the product. This is analyzed according to the Nutri-Score. “This method measures the nutritional balance of food products, taking into account the amount of sugar, salt, saturated fat, protein, fiber, calories, as well as the content of fruits and vegetables”indicates the application on its site.
The application also studies the presence of additives, which can present risks to our health. The presence of additives then counts for 30% of the total score. Yuka also takes into account the biological dimension for 10% of the score, allowing us to know if the food has been exposed to pesticides. Generally speaking, the rating given by Yuka is a good indicator for consumers.
What is the best red fruit jam according to Yuka?
As reported Femina Version, a red fruit jam stands out on the Yula application. According to our colleagues, this is strawberry jam from the Lucien Georgelin brand. On the Carrefour website, it can be found at the price of €2.15 for 320 grams. This jam is rated 84/100 and therefore belongs to the “excellent” category of the application.
This jam stands out first of all because it does not contain pesticide residues. It is also less rich in sugars than other jars, and has a rich fruit content. In its composition, we find 45% strawberries, sugar, 15% apple, pectin and concentrated lemon juice. Another good news is that it does not contain any additives. In other words, this product is an excellent choice, both to accompany your breakfast and pancakes.
As for the brand itself, it produces its jams with “simple and natural ingredient lists”, focusing everything on quality. As it explains on its site, it does not add any coloring, preservative or flavoring to its products. She is also committed to making her products with local ingredients.
Other references recommended by Yuka
In the event that this jam is a victim of its own success, Yuka recommends other references. Thus, Fior di Frutta jam, strawberries and wild strawberries, is ranked second in the ranking with a score of 79/100. It is produced by the Rigoni Di Asiago brand, which we all know for its famous Nocciolata spread. It is followed by blueberry jam, without added sugar, from the Lucien Georgelin brand, rated 78/100. Proof that this brand is ahead of its competitors in terms of quality and that we can trust it with our eyes closed!
